Police are still searching for the masked man who robbed the Shell gas station on Rte. 109 at gunpoint on Friday night.

Just before 9 p.m. on Friday, police received a call from the Shell station at 139 Medway Road reporting a black male robbed the attendant at gunpoint, according to police.

The attendant told the officers he was prepared to close and was in the garage area, walking toward the main entrance, when he heard the door to the station open, looked up and saw a man with a gun pointed at him, police said.

The man told the attendant to give him all the money and the attendant handed it over, according to police. Police are not disclosing how much money the suspect made away with.

According to the attendant, the man ordered him to throw his cell phone in the garage before fleeing the scene, heading toward Town Fair Tire.

Milford police, along with the help of officers from Medway and a K-9 unit from Holliston, searched for over an hour for the suspect, but were unable to locate him.

The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches who was wearing a dark bandana across his face, sunglasses, a long-sleeved gray sweatshirt and blue jeans. The gun was described as a large caliber semi-automatic pistol, black in color.

Police are asking anyone with any information to contact the detective unit at 508-473-1113 or use the anonymous tip line, 508-473-3800.
